Branding Photoshoot in London for Bonita Markey
Bonita started experiencing constant back pain from the age of 10 years old, yet it wasn’t until 2018 that she discovered she had scoliosis. The pain impacted her mental health as well as her physical health, and it is around that time that she started practicing yoga.
Her current aim with her yoga teaching business is to empower individuals working in high pressure environment and help them implement mindfulness in every aspects of their lives.

Kim is someone who knows herself well and what she wants. We worked together twice and both time she came to me with a concept already formed, a Pinterest board and all of her outfits.

Branding photoshoot for Nuna Kamhawi
Nuna is a registered nutritionist who is passionate about intuitive eating and whose mission is to help her clients find freedom in their body and heal their relationship with food. Which is right up my street! I couldn’t wait to get started. We explore a lot of different stories to reflect different parts of Nuna’s business. We wanted some professional looking portraits showing the practical aspects of what she’s doing, as well as some more creative ones to embody the freedom that she herself feels and want to transmit to her clients.

Branding photoshoot for Mim
Mim transitioned from yoga teacher to digital marketing coach, with a focus on helping female entrepreneurs & brands get seen online.
She wanted pictures of her being engaging and working, but she also needed pictures for her Instagram feed to be able to create reels covers and photo carousels. She already had a lot of pictures of her working on a laptop from a previous photoshoot, but realised she was lacking images of her looking at the camera and seeming approachable and friendly.

Branding photoshoot for Emerald Peseah
Emerald is the first of my clients (and so far only) who got in touch through Tiktok.
We met on a steamy hot day in London to take branding pictures in an even steamier studio. The heat made us change our setting and move things around and I am so glad we did because the pictures turned out dreamier than what I had originally planned.

Branding photoshoot for Sally Connor
Sally and I have been insta friends for a few years. I write and share a lot about my eating disorder recovery on my yoga instagram and I think this is how Sally found me. We have had many conversations about body dysmorphia, fatphobia within the yoga industry, and all things ED recovery.
She reached out to me for a photoshoot months before the actual date - to get mentally ready. To hold herself accountable. And on the day of the photoshoot … She smashed it.

How to choose the right photographer
I know it’s tempting to go for the cheapest option - that’s how I used to think before I got used to invest in my own business. But working with a person you trust ultimately saves money.
If you pick the cheapest photographer, chances are you are going to be disappointed with the images of someone who is either overworked because not charging enough, or inexperienced. Then you will have to take more pictures, and pay more money. So how do you choose?
